Grodan® Improved Gro-Slabs™

Grodan® Improved Gro-Slabs™ are formulated with an advanced wetting agent and optimized wool structure to consistently deliver outstanding results for controlled environment indoor and greenhouse commercial grows.

The Advanced Wetting Agent in Grodan's Improved Gro-Slabs results in more uniform water distribution throughout the entire slab. The properties of Improved Gro-Slabs enable a multi-faceted irrigation strategy by allowing growers to vary the water volume within a safe range of between 55% and 78% (day level). Improved capillary action also ensures that moisture is retained more evenly throughout the entire slab.

The ability of Grodan Improved to distribute WC and EC evenly throughout the slab volume creates optimal steering capabilities. Growers have more control of the plant’s balance throughout the crop cycle, allowing plant steering with precise adjustments of the WC and EC in the rootzone.

Stone wool fibers do not bind nutrients and do not require flushing at the start of the cultivation cycle. An initial targeted application of water and nutrients in the cultivation cycle enables sustainable water and fertilizer use. In combination with other management strategies, including Grodan's GroSens and e-Gro tools that enable precision growing, Grodan Improved Gro-Slabs facilitate optimum crop steering for healthy plants and greater yields.

Grodan developed the Grodan Improved product line using scientific methods in conjunction with the world-renowned Wageningen University in the Netherlands. Grodan Improved was successfully trialed in the field by leading cultivation facilities throughout North America.

New density + new hydrophilic technology = better water distribution and root development!
